Trunk Line: The Director's Cut
Trunk Line: Book One - Tales of the Orion Spur
Captain Timothy Symbles is a trader by necessity, a survivor by instinct, and -- much to the dismay of everyone around him -- a chaos vector by sheer, unfortunate talent. His aging freighter, Astra, is held together with spare parts and sheer will. His crew? Questionable, eccentric, and possibly intoxicated. His finances? Best not to ask.

But when a catastrophic jump malfunction sends them hurtling wildly off-course, Symbles and his crew find themselves neck-deep in an archaeological mystery involving ancient alien tech, long-forgotten ancient empires, and an artifact no one fully understands -- but everyone desperately wants.

Pursued by spies, soldiers, and several people who would very much like them dead, the crew of the Astra must navigate rival factions, sketchy alliances, and the most dangerous force in the galaxy: Tim Symbles trying to improvise.

Equal parts irreverent space adventure and snarky survival saga, Trunk Line is a fast-paced, character-driven sci-fi romp about found family, terrible timing, and occasionally saving the galaxy by accident.

"Like a truly funny Iain M. Banks... "

For fans of John Scalzi, Becky Chambers, and anyone who thinks their spaceship should come with duct tape, sarcasm, emergency beverages, and snacks.
